My name is Max Nelson, I am a Bay Area based Investor with a single Family home in Santa Cruz, CA that is a Short Term/Mid Term Rental and a Duplex in Bend, Oregon.

Multi family properties will cashflow the best (unless you are bold enough to rent by the room).

Research local rental demand, especially from military and university tenants, and consider balancing your portfolio with single-family and multi-family homes.

the value added versus cost to add, especially in single family zoned areas, typically results in a large negative initial position.  

Quote from @Eli Fazzo: Hey Bp family, I’m looking to move to Lexington, South Carolina area within the next year or so.

They call it a tribe, a family, or something similar, giving people the sense they belong to something special—often creating a tight-knit environment that makes it harder to question what’s really being offered.So, what’s the takeaway?

I’m drawn to real estate not just for financial freedom but to build a legacy for my family while contributing positively to communities.

I need more adviceJust now I suddenly had an idea, the land left by the LA fire and SB-9 (SB-9 allows single-family residential lots to be split into two lots)Is this a good opportunity?

Hi Dave in Northern, NJ-I am sorry to hear you have a single family rental facing foreclosure.You have it in an LLC and wonder what your options may be to delay foreclosure.Lenders do not want to take properties back and have a nonperforming loan.The best time to work with your lender is as soon as possible but certainly before the sheriff's sale.After the sheriff's sale, there is a redemption period where you can still sell it and the length of time varies from state to state and may depend on if it is vacant (avoid that for a variety of reasons), if tenants have a lease and have rights, or if someone is occupying the property.Working with the lender may not be easy but do not give up.Also, reach out to investors, who buy properties in foreclosure or pre-foreclosure, and see if they would be interested in curing the default and buying the property.To Your Success!

I don’t really care about appreciation, I mainly focused on significant cash flow with minimal tenant headaches. are you open to ground up development or new construction strategies like build to rent, single family home infill, small multifamily 2-3 unit infill, or land development?
